A half-Veela is a cross-breed between a human (normally a wizard or witch) and a Veela. It is unknown if Veela can breed with Muggles, and it is unlikely that a Muggle would ever learn of the existence of Veela, thus most or all half-Veela will inherit magical ability from their fathers.

Inheritance of Veela abilities

From their mother, they gain some Veela traits, such as exceptional beauty and the ability to entrance men supernaturally. It is unknown if half-Veela are able to shape-shift into bird-like creatures as full Veela can. Half-Veela are also not immune to the effects of old age, which causes good looks to inevitably deteriorate.

Prejudice

Because they are half-breeds, half-Veela may experience the same prejudices that befall other half-breeds, though they are more difficult to detect than other half-breeds, such as Half-giants, because apart from their great physical beauty, they are otherwise identical to humans.

Gender

It is unknown if half-Veela or part-Veela can be male. The only known male with Veela ancestry is Louis Weasley, who is one-eighth Veela through his mother.
